 Bonnets Have a Show at Last
 Yesterday was a delightful Easter Sunday. The weather has for some time been very enigmatical. One day would be winter, the next spring, the next summer, and like as not the following day would be winter again. yet provoking game of hide and seek, liked together entirely out of season, until at last it appears as if spring had decided to emerge from her hiding place after all. She is late in doing so to be sure, but better late than never, as the saying goes.
 Sunny skies, sweet smiles and perfectly lovely bits of inspiration in the way of head gear all came in with the Easter season yes day. Tue girls and young women and those who have reached the meridian of life all blossomed afresh into the world with their newly-made smiles and dresses and hats. They all, it behooves us to say, looked as sweet as roses in June The men, too, with the flowers and joys of the glad Easter tide, could safely air their new spring suits.
 The fine weather was an invitation to out door enjoyment, which was construed by many as a call to visit the East Rock Park. Hence. the Park had it's first crowds of the season yesterday. People foot and in carriages were to be seen on all portions of the Farnam and English drives and manyr sauntered about off the roads to rest unde the shade of the trees and cool off, the hot sun making the shade trees welcome. It was the first warm day of the season-al- most like lovely June day. The horse cars were crowded to overfewing late in the af- ternoon by returning pedestrians.
 A correspondent writes: Spring and sun shine ushered in the last and final week of the tedious Lenten season. Yesterday the church exchanged sackcloth and ashes, lite mes and fasting for flowers and feastings, mirth and melody and the charms of social life. Lilies adorned the altars yesterday morning. and eggs in all colors and all guises of cooking were spread upon the breakfast tables. Easter is day when all the world dons its best clothes and goes out with pleas ant words of greeting on it's lips But the triumph of the hour, the acme of joy and praise and glory is the Easter bonnet. Yesterday it appeared in all it's beauty, admired now of all husbands and fathers and admired of other peoples fathers and husbands, after the bill for it's construc tion has been presented. The many beautiful pieces of millinery skill exhibited on the streets and in the churches were wonderful to behold. The Easter bonnet ushers in the season of outdoor pleasure Although the theaters for the remainder of the the atrical season be well attended New Haven's society people will begin to look forward to the seaside resort and the younger people will commence boating. tennis and other little pleasantries of the season. The Eouestrian club, which has become fixture here, will now be patronized more than ever. There will undoubtedly be some splendid :. rides during the present month and the com Sno month of June The theater managers have some excellent attractions for the com inpr weeks and New Haveners will undoubt- ed1y welcome the spring of 1887 in happy 4 and joyous manner.
